- Body mass index (BMI) of > (or equal) 17.0 kg/m²
- Female subjects must be postmenopausal for at least 2 years, surgically sterile, abstinent, or, if sexually active, be practicing an effective method of birth control before study entry and throughout the study. Effective methods of birth control include contraceptive pills, coil, depot injection of gestagen, subdermal implantation, hormonal vaginal ring, and transdermal depot patches. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (b hCG) pregnancy test result at screening.

Exclusion criteria:
- Unable to provide their own consent or involuntarily committed to psychiatric hospitalization

- Relevant history or current presence of any significant or unstable cardiovascular, respiratory, neurologic (including seizures or significant cerebrovascular disease), renal, hepatic, hematologic, endocrine, immunologic, morbid obesity (BMI > 40 kg/m²) or other systemic disease
- History or evidence of clinically significant hepatic disease [including aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) >2 times the upper limit of normal] at screening
- Significant risk of suicidal or violent behavior, as clinically assessed by the investigator
- Known or suspected hypersensitivity or intolerance to risperidone, paliperidone, 20% Intralipid, or any of their excipients (e.g., soybean oil, egg yolks, phospholipids, and glycerol)
- Have received an experimental drug or experimental biologic, or used an experimental medical device within 6 months before screening or participated in 2 or more clinical studies in the past year

Primary Outcome(s)
Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that paliperidone palmitate is not less effective than risperidone long-acting i.m. injection (LAI) (RISPERDALCONSTA). The safety and tolerability of paliperidone palmitate in the treatment of schizophrenia will also be assessed.
Secondary Objective: - Assessment of the global improvement in severity of illness associated with the use of paliperidone palmitate compared with risperidone LAI.
- Explore the effects to personal and social functioning associated with the use of paliperidone palmitate compared with risperidone LAI.
- Explore the effects of paliperidone palmitate compared with risperidone LAI in improvement of sleep quality and reduction of daytime sleepiness.
Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is the charge in the total of the PANSS from baseline to the last postrandomization assessement in the double-blind treatment period. The criterion for evaluation will be the demonstration that the primary endpoint is no worse in paliperidone palmitate treated subjects than in risperidone LAI treated subjects by a predefined noninferiority margin of 5 points in the change in the total PANSS score.
Secondary endpoints will include the Clinical Global Improvement-Severity (CGI-S), Personal and Social Performance Scale (PSP), Schedule for Deficit Syndrome (SDS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Sleep Visual Analog Scale (Sleep VAS), PANSS subscales, and responder rate.
